My 18 month old has taken a liking to pears recently (thank goodness) and I have never tried to use frozen pears as you have here. I have some right now that I can freeze so I am excited to try this out!!

We do not like cooked carrots too much around here, and find with our local coop we get more than we would normally eat. I let my girls drop them into a food processor and shred them. We freeze them flat in a zipper freezer bag. Then I can break off chunks for whatever I want. Muffins, bread . . One of our favorite smoothies:
1 banana,
Kefir from Raw Cows Milk,
handful of frozen blueberries,
handful of frozen carrots (gets one more veggie in!) .

I make a habit of keeping frozen bananas in my freezer – so we never need extra sweetener. I think I’ll try our favorite smoothies now – using greens too! Thanks!

Great article! I’ve been having green smoothies for years – every morning for breakfast!

I just wrote a post on my own blog about them, and linked to this article

I like your website, also Knowing your Barbeques Recipe, will help you know the correct and right amount ingredients. Especially since you want to be sure to fully cook meats like chicken and pork on the grill, they have a tendency to dry out.

I love our smoothies… we smooth for snack every day (my kids are 2 1/2 & 15 months). i haven’t tried alfalfa yet, but we use spinach every day. I steam & freeze in ice cube trays a giant back of fresh spinach from Costco, then drop one cube into our smoothie!

I usually use:

1 banana
1 C strawberries or raspberries
1 cube spinach
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup crushed ice (if using fresh fruit instead of frozen)
honey as needed for sweetness (depends on how yummy your banana is!)

Another thing i’m going to do tomorrow is use one fresh peach! Or, throw in a whole apple!

Broccoli is another green addin that doesn’t offend the palate as much as it sounds like it would! This is such a great way to get in all those fruits & veggies i know we’re missing out on without our smoothies.

I am so happy to find someone promoting green smoothies. We have been making them for a few years now and I am always trying to get people, especially moms, hooked on them. We love citrus/greens combinations. I like to juice half a lemon and throw that in as well. A little ginger is alright too (not too much though). Has anyone tried adding wheat grass juice?

Yes! I love green smoothies.

My little guy has been drinking them since he was 2. It’s been the greatest discovery for us!

Yes, we have done it before. You will want to make the original a bit sweeter for popsicles otherwise it tastes rather bland.

My boys will think this is awesome! Can’t wait to try it. Has anyone tried freezing the leftovers into popsicles?
